Loftness Battle Ax Mulching Attachment for Skid Steers

Loftness has introduced new models of its Battle Ax horizontal drum mulcher designed specifically for skid steers. Featuring a new rotor, tooth design and exclusive two-stage cutting chamber, the heavy-duty Battle Ax is designed for highly efficient vegetation management, including right-of-way maintenance, land clearing, forestry applications and more.

• 61- and 71-inch cutting widths for skid steers with 50 to 120 hydraulic horsepower.
• 17-inch-diameter rotor features built-in depth gauges to manage amount of material being fed into the attachment
• Otimized for use with all cutting tooth styles. Customers can choose from Quadco planer blades, hard-surface Quadco blades and carbide teeth. The cutting teeth are mounted to the rotor with a single hex bolt for easy removal on the jobsite.
• Two-stage cutting chamber, which allows material to be cut twice by the rotor. The primary shear bar is adjustable for customizing particle size.
• The Battle Ax is available with two hydraulic motor options: A fixed-displacement gear motor operates at a constant RPM that provides an optimal balance between speed and torque or a variable-displacement piston motor, which automatically shifts the rotor RPM from the highest speed to a lower range for increased torque, as needed.
• Other standard features include universal skid-steer mounting, premium strength steel housing, adjustable skid shoes from 0.5 inches to -1.5 inches for below-grade mulching, a machined anti-wrap bearing protector, an adjustable push bar with welded claw hooks, an integrated pressure gauge, and a staggered tooth pattern to ensure single-tooth contact with the work surface at all times.
